Wr only stayed one night so didn't get to try all facilities. Loved the views and beds were comfortable. A little bit of construction out front but didn't impact our stay. We would come back and stay again.
The Crowne Plaza staff are very friendly and helpful.
The rooms are excellent. Great dining options for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
The dive bar has a great vibe and good for starters before heading out in Melbourne.
We like that it was close to shopping, restaurants, and entertainment. The staff was friendly. Our room was very small and not what I think we originally booked, but it worked since we were only there for a few days.
The Crowne Plaza was a great hotel to stay at. You are close to the free transit area and a lot of the area is very walkable. Service was fantastic and the view from the room was great. Bed were clean and comfortable.
